"For a break that balances the buzz of discovering a new city with a good dose of fresh air, Stockholm's mix of lush parks and higgledy-piggledy architecture is an enduring choice. The city is formed of 14 islands, meaning you're never too far from a waterfront to amble along, and is packed with historical charm (head to Gamla Stan to see one of Europe's oldest medieval cobbled streets), stylish boutiques and museums championing everything from Abba to the world's best-preserved 17th century warship."
"While the city is home to a slew of excellent hotels, from smart converted townhouses to the former home of Astrid Lindgreen, author of the beloved Pippi Longstocking book series, for a real home-from-home vibe, you'll still want to look to Airbnb. We've found seven excellent homestays throughout the city and out to the outskirts, balancing top-notch amenities with the freedom that only comes with a private booking."
Stockholm sits on 14 islands, so waterfront promenades are always nearby and the city blends lush parks with varied, higgledy-piggledy architecture. Gamla Stan features one of Europe's oldest medieval cobbled streets alongside stylish boutiques and museums ranging from Abba exhibits to the world’s best-preserved 17th-century warship. Accommodation options include smart converted townhouses and the former home of Astrid Lindgren, while private homestays offer a more home-from-home vibe. Seven homestays balance top-notch amenities with private-booking freedom. Several Nordic properties include private saunas or steam rooms, and all offer sea or skyline views, making the city ideal for short cultural breaks.
